Question: What is the maximum range of USB?

Answer: USB specs define a maximum effective range of 15ft. For longer distances you need a repeater cables. Up to 5 repeater cables can be chained for a maximum distance of 80ft.

Pros: good design, good quality construction, very low price. Works fine.

Cons: none

A perfectly good replacement cable at a very low price. I recommend it highly. I do not use it often so I can't vouch for it's heavy use capability, but there is nothing visibly cheap about the cable. The construction looks and feels like a much more expensive cable.

Quick service

The part arrived quick and was exactly what I ordered. Unfortunately it wasn't exactly the part I needed. Can't complain though.
